2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20UPDATED: MAR 18, 2011 Schlussel is an "ok" altbier, but despite being very drinkable, there is nothing very hoppy to speak of and not really malty either, It lacks a little something that would make you say "I want another one right now", just like the Uerige Alt is, for example. The place is beautiful though, definitly worths a stop if you’re near Dusseldorf (along with all the other Altbier breweries!)
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(tap) Hazelnut brown to copper colour, foamy beige head. Aroma of moss, toasted, slightly nutty, some caramel in the finish. Light to medium bitterness. Much lighter than Uerige, much less hops on the palate, no bitter finish, lacking aroma hops as well. Still good.

Drank this where you are supposed to, standing at a wooden table outside in the middle of Düsseldorf. Deeper color, deeper flavor with some metal.
